Pork heart and shrimp

Thousands of years ago, the great abilities of the three teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism decided on a place for becoming immortal. Three thousand years ago, a Taoist was close to becoming immortal. Three hundred years ago, the Daqian Dynasty was established, and chaos is expected in another three hundred years. In this era, the path to immortality opens; a celestial swordsman freezes fourteen states with one sword, a heavenly Daoist maiden seeks eternal life, a naturally born Holy Son claims to be invincible, and a Buddhist Holy Monk saves all sentient beings.
Gu Wen lives as a beggar, enters a household as a servant, witnessing the disordered world, drifting aimlessly. 
In a world filled with divine beings, he alone is a mortal. 
However, a lowly origin is not a disgrace; striving through the grand path, even as a common man and mundane son, he can still be the foremost in the world.
"Mortal Gu Wen, my Dao is euqaling the heavens!"

Dao Equaling the Heavens

Along the way, a family surnamed Guo kindly offered Gu Wen shelter for the night. They had a young daughter of twenty who was about to be forcefully married to a butcher, with their wedding just a few days away. Gu Wen knew from the start they wanted something from him, but he also wanted to try his hand at emulating Lu Zhishen's martial prowess in beating up the Western Gatekeeper.


Where there is great strength, there naturally has to be abundant energy.


Gu Wen went to the butcher's home and learned that a bride price had been paid not just once. The girl's father was a compulsive gambler, and the daughter had eloped with a scholar years before, only to be abandoned at the end. Despite the past grievances, the butcher sincerely sought to marry her.


Having understood the situation, Gu Wen returned as if he had accepted a quest from an online game. The prospective father-in-law was hesitant and indirect, while the girl covered her face, weeping as if she alone bore the suffering.
